The nuclear industry expanded rapidly in the 1960s and early 1970s and during that time hired thousands of engineers and scientists. Those people are now approaching retirement age, and the nuclear industry needs to replace them. Electric utilities, national laboratories and government regulatory agencies need both nuclear engineers and scientists and engineers in other fields who also have some knowledge of nuclear technology. Because so many senior people are retiring, there will be many opportunities for rapid advancement in the nuclear industry over the next several years. Ohio State offers an undergraduate minor in Nuclear Engineering, administered by the College of Engineering, to provide students with the knowledge and skills they will need for many entry-level positions in the nuclear industry.
